Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 653 The Frustrating Life of an Evil Soul Master (6K)

This is why Huo Yuhao never used his mental power to bully anyone in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Otherwise, with his super-powerful mental strength, no matter which team came up, they would all faint and fall to the ground. It would be like watching a horror movie.

Number 98 felt as if he were staring directly at an unbearable sun. He covered his eyes in pain, and his legs went weak, causing him to kneel on the ground with a thud.

Number Ninety-Eight's expression instantly shifted from arrogance to deep terror as he struggled against the oppressive force emanating from his mind and soul, unable to even lift his head.

For a level six Soul Master to try and contend with Huo Yuhao on a spiritual level is simply wishful thinking.

Number Ninety-Six's expression quickly shifted from shock to calm, and he forced a smile: "My friend, I'm truly sorry, my brother is being unreasonable. Please be lenient and let him off the hook."

"When I get back, I'll definitely give him a good beating."

As they were talking, several more guards suddenly appeared behind them, glaring angrily at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, and he even had the leisure to take another bite of the fruit that Nana had given him.

"Are you trying to scare me?"

Huo Yuhao sneered, and his mental shockwave struck out again without warning, knocking down all of their guards.

"you!"

Number 96's expression changed drastically in an instant. The guards beside them were all top-notch fighters, yet they had fallen down so quietly.

His smile froze on his face, replaced by a cold glint as he said with a forced grin, "Sir, I advise you to think twice before you act. This is within the Sunset Alliance."

Huo Yuhao reached out and grasped the Ice Burst Bone Staff, which he hadn't used in a long time. The joints on the crystal-clear staff were clearly visible, shimmering with a crystalline light. The extreme coldness intertwined with the profound power of darkness, making Huo Yuhao appear as if he were a mysterious grand mage who had emerged from nowhere.

A chilling killing intent descended upon Number Ninety-Six without reservation, causing him to gasp for breath.

"You're not convinced, are you?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes turned into a pure gray, as if some dim flame was dancing in his eye sockets. Feeling the gray power dancing in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Number Ninety-Six immediately calmed down.

"Misunderstanding, friend, it's a misunderstanding. We're all on the same side, members of the Holy Church, there's no need for this."

Number Ninety-Six swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.

"Who says you're on the same path? You can't even touch upon the slightest mystery of the soul, yet you dare to call yourself one of us?"

A deep killing intent flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, making Number Ninety-Six feel that he was about to die today.

But Huo Yuhao eventually put the staff away: "Feel lucky. We came here to cooperate, and you were spared. Next time you're out in the world, remember to act like a grandson."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao didn't wait any longer and strode away—the two idiots hadn't realized that they were the ones he was waiting for. Now that he had finished his business, it was time for him to leave.

"Nana, tell Manager Chen that if my bet wins, he can decide how to handle it."

"Yes, young master."

It wasn't long before Number Ninety-Eight struggled to his feet, trembling uncontrollably. As for the guards, it would obviously take them some time to wake up.

Number 96 had a gloomy expression and didn't say anything.

Number 98 was still shaken. He didn't speak until Nana left the VIP room, and then he asked with difficulty, "Their conversation just now... were they from the Soul Hall? Was that Nana the one who defeated seven opponents in the first match?"

"It's pretty much true. I never expected that a genius Soul Emperor who is not even twenty years old would have to be a slave in the Soul Palace. The power of the Soul Palace seems to be more than we thought."

A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Number Ninety-Six's eyes.

Although the other party was not a member of the Holy Cult, both the hand bone staff he had just pulled out and the words he had just spoken clearly indicated that he was an evil spirit master, and one who had the backing of a large organization.

[They can't even touch upon the slightest of the mysteries of the soul, yet they have the nerve to call themselves my kindred spirits.]

Soul Hall, what a Soul Hall. Judging from their tone, they seem to be evil soul masters who specialize in the path of the soul.

Even though he had just been taught a lesson by Huo Yuhao, Number Ninety-Six's heart was still filled with turbulent waves.

Although the Holy Spirit Cult is adept at torturing the souls of ordinary people and transforming them into vengeful spirits to increase their destructive power, they are essentially still completely ignorant about the nature of the soul.

The fact that the Soul Palace can use the word "soul" in its name indicates that it has a deep understanding of the way of the soul and has mastered the secrets of the soul. No wonder it even disdains to associate with us.

A youthful face, an incredibly powerful mental strength, and a beautiful, strong, and exceptionally talented maidservant by his side—all of this adds another layer of mystery to Huo Yuhao.

Soul Palace Young Master

"Someone come here!"

A staff member hurriedly came in.

Seeing the guards slumped over in the VIP room, the staff member's heart started pounding.

"Just who is that number sixty-six from earlier?"

When Number Ninety-Eight saw that it wasn't Huo Yuhao who pushed open the door, his arrogant expression returned.

The staff member spoke cautiously: "Well, well, I'm not entirely sure either. I only know that they were invited to participate in the competition. Even the head of Morning Glory avoids this VIP very much, and sometimes he would mutter things like 'Only a fierce dragon can cross the river.'"

After the staff left, Number 98 grinned and looked at Number 96.

"Brother, this bastard is bullying me like this!"

"shut your mouth!"

Number 96 impatiently interrupted Number 98.

"Let's go back first and tell the teacher. We need to combine that information with what number 66 said about them coming to cooperate."

"This Soul Palace is probably a hidden evil soul master force within the three great empires. Now, it has sensed that the atmosphere on the continent is not quite right, so it plans to make a grand comeback and wants to contact our Holy Church to work together on a great cause."

"This Soul Palace seems unfathomable. It's best not to offend it if possible. Even if we really want revenge, we should wait until our teacher has figured out the Soul Palace's true nature before we do so."

Number Ninety-Eight was immediately indignant upon hearing this: "Damn it, I tolerated that damned Holy Maiden beating me up because she didn't like me, but now that a powerful outsider has come and beaten me up, I'm going to tolerate that too?"

"Brother, being a demonic spirit master is just too frustrating!"
